Hi there,

I have Intel 6500 CPU, gigabyte z170 d3h motherboard, 16 gig ram and different types and sizes of HDDs and SSDs.I have 4 4k cameras and their nvr[reolink] and 4 2mp cameras[different manufacturers] and the whole house outlets[every single power outlet and button] are smart. I want to install home assistant with all my cameras backup .Which type of NAS you recommend? Help

Thanks

I’d look at unraid. You can then set up separate VM’s for home assistant and any NVR’s you need.

TrueNAS Scale would fit your needs nicely.  You can run homeassistant as a docker and its zfs support is more mature than unraid's implementation.

ZFS isn’t friendly to different sized drives. Unraid is the best option for this use case.

Nonsense.  I had a 4x10TB raidZ1 array that had a failed drive.  Only had a 12TB drive on hand to replace it.  Works a treat!

Yes… it will work just fine. But if you have lots of different sized drives, you are greatly reducing the overall storage capacity of the array since a lot of the space on a lot of the drives will go unused…….
 

This is why unraid is very useful for folks who either are not financially able to build out a full vdev from day 1, or already have a bunch of mix matched drives.

And you lost 2tb of its capacity, effectively making it a 10tb drive...

 

Now imagine if you had a mix of 1tb, 4tb, 8tb and 12tb. The array would be built using all of the drives at the smallest drive size of 1tb in zfs.
